Definitions

  • This invention relates to a cathode ray tube (crt) havin a faceplate which is sensitive to pressure such that a user may communicate input information by touching the faceplate.
  • crt cathode ray tube
  • the commonest is the well- known "light pen” arrangement in which light controlled by the user interacts with layers deposited on the crt screen.
  • Such systems are relatively complex and expensive, and require specially adapted crt's. It has also been propose to make use of photosensitive devices adjacent the display which can be covered by a finger to act as an input, but thes are of limited usefulness.
  • An object of the present invention is to overcome or mitigate the above disadvantages.
  • the invention accordingly provides a cathode ray tube in which a transparent layer is applied to the exterior of the screen, said layer being of a polymeric piezoelectric material whereby pressure or temperature change thereon creates a localised electric charge at that area of the screen and including means for monitoring the beam current of the electron beam to detect when the electron beam scans over a said area of localised electric charge.
  • said layer is of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) .
  • PVDF polyvinylidene fluoride
  • KYNAR Trade Mark
  • said layer is coated with a transparent conductive layer connected to earth (ground) .
  • the tube has a glass envelope 10 including a screen 12 coated on its interior with the usual phosphors (not shown) .
  • the tube also has any suitable electron gun 14, deflection system 16 and control grid 18, all as well known per se.
  • the tube however differs from the conventional in that the usual internal aluminised ground plane is omitted.
  • the outer surface of the screen 12 is covered with a layer 20 of PVDF.
  • the PVDF layer 20 is adhered to the screen 12 by a non-conductive contact adhesive.
  • the PVDF layer 20 is itself coated with a transparent conductive layer 22 which is earthed.
  • the layers 20, 22 are of course shown greatly exaggerated in thickness in the drawing.
  • Means, such as a current sensing loop 24, are provided for monitoring the current of the electron beam at any instant.
  • a localised positive charge is created as indicated at 28 due to its piezoelectric character istics.
  • the beam current drops relatively sharply and distinctly, producing a corresponding output form the sensing loop 24.
  • suitable circuitry not shown to identify the position of the pressure point on the screen, for example by timing the interval from conventional raster scan frame and line sync signals to the occurrence of the output.
  • the electron beam discharges the positive charge as it scans over it.
  • the PVDF layer 20 has the characteristic that, on release of the pressure, a negative charge will be created.
  • the input can be regarded as being "on” from the occurrence of the initial drop in beam current until the occurrence of a surge in beam current due to scanning the negative charge produced by ⁇ release of the pressure.
  • the earthed conductive outer layer 22 is preferably present to prevent spurious inputs caused by static electricity building up on the screen.
  • the layer 22 could for example be of indium tin oxide, copper or gold and could be applied by vapour deposition.
  • the layer 22 is likely to be worn away by use; it is therefore preferable that the layers 20,22 can be removed and replaced, for example by using a soluble adhesive.
  • PVDF is also thermoelectric: the localised charge areas could be produced by "pointing" with a light beam, preferably one with a significant infrared content and focussed. The invention could be applied for instance in selecting from a menu displayed on the screen, or in creating or amending graphics in computer-aided design.

Abstract

Un tube cathodique est pourvu d'un écran (12) dont la surface externe est recouverte d'une couche (20) d'un matériau piézoélectrique polymère, par exemple du fluorure de polyvinylidène. Une pression (ou de la chaleur) localisée appliquée sur la couche (20) crée une région chargée (28) produisant une altération du courant du faisceau lorsque celui-ci balaie la région. Cette altération est détectée, par exemple par une boucle détectrice (24), pour provoquer l'introduction de données.
